Drift 5 Light Crystal Chandelier - Chrome

The Drift is a 41cm crystal chandelier built around a circular polished chrome frame, from which vertical chrome blades and elongated faceted crystal drops hang in an alternating rhythm around the perimeter. Five G9 bulbs sit within the ring, each emitting light through the surrounding crystal elements to create layered reflections across the chrome surfaces and cast prismatic patterns onto nearby walls and ceilings.

Designed for dining tables, kitchen islands and entrance halls with ceiling heights of 2.4m or above, the Drift combines ambient and decorative lighting. The 35.5cm body height allows the fixture to hang close to surfaces without overpowering typical dining table heights when suspended 700-800mm above the tabletop. The circular symmetry works in square, rectangular and open-plan spaces where the fitting will be viewed from multiple angles.

The polished chrome finish provides high reflectivity, amplifying the light output from the five G9 bulbs and mirroring surrounding surfaces, while the faceted crystal drops soften the metallic frame with refracted light. The 41cm diameter suits rooms of 12-18m², offering presence without dominating smaller dining areas or lower ceilings where larger crystal chandeliers would feel cramped. The thin suspension cables keep the visual weight minimal, allowing the chrome and crystal assembly to appear suspended rather than hanging heavily.

Each G9 bulb is rated up to 28W, giving flexibility to choose halogen or LED depending on desired brightness and heat output. The combined 5.6kg weight requires secure ceiling fixing into a joist or suitable anchor point, and the cables are adjustable on installation to set the drop height for the specific room.

What bulb does it take and are they included?

The Drift takes five G9 bulbs, each rated up to 28W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users fit G9 LED bulbs between 3-5W and 2700K-3000K warm white to pair with the chrome and crystal finishes.

What ceiling height is needed?

The 35.5cm body height plus suspension cables typically requires a ceiling height of 2.4m or above for comfortable clearance. For dining tables the fitting is usually hung 700-800mm above the surface, which works in standard 2.4m-height rooms. The cables are adjustable during installation.

Is it dimmable?

Dimmer compatibility depends on the bulbs fitted. G9 LED bulbs vary in their dimmer compatibility, so check the bulb packaging for confirmation. G9 halogen bulbs are generally dimmable on most standard trailing-edge dimmers.

How is the crystal cleaned?

Switch off the power and allow bulbs to cool fully. Wipe each crystal drop with a dry microfibre cloth to remove dust. For fingerprints or marks, use a barely-damp cloth with distilled water, then dry immediately. Avoid sprays or chemical cleaners on the crystal or chrome frame.
